Before you book a DJ for an office party in Toronto, get clear answers to 10 questions. They cover experience, MC duties, sound, music, requests, backup and setup. Ask them, send us your date, venue and guest count, and you can compare options with prices for DJs who are free that night.<\/p>\n

1. Have you played office parties before?<\/h2>\n

A work party isn’t a wedding or a club night. The crowd mixes ages and roles, and the evening has speeches. Ask what kinds of corporate events the DJ has played, and for a short video from one.<\/p>\n

2. Will you MC, or just play music?<\/h2>\n

Some DJs also MC: they announce dinner, introduce speakers and keep the evening on time. Others only play. If you need someone on the microphone, say so in your request, so we can check it with each DJ.<\/p>\n

3. Will you bring your own sound and lighting?<\/h2>\n

Most people who ask us for a DJ in Toronto want one who brings their own equipment. If your venue has a sound system, the DJ may be able to plug into it instead. Tell us which, and ask whether the price includes sound and lighting.<\/p>\n

4. Do you play clean versions of songs?<\/h2>\n

At a work event, ask for radio edits of songs with explicit lyrics. Send a short do-not-play list as well as a few songs your team likes.<\/p>\n

5. How do you build the night?<\/h2>\n

Ask how the DJ plans the volume and the music across the evening. Quiet background music suits arrival and dinner. Dancing can follow the speeches. A DJ who knows the order can turn the music down for the microphone at the right moments.<\/p>\n

6. How do you handle song requests?<\/h2>\n

Decide whether guests can ask for songs, or whether the DJ sticks to your plan. If some guests may want karaoke, ask whether the DJ offers it.<\/p>\n

7. What happens if something stops working?<\/h2>\n

Ask whether the DJ brings spare equipment, such as a second laptop or a backup cable, and how quickly they can switch over.<\/p>\n

8. What do you need from the venue?<\/h2>\n

The people who ask us for a DJ in Toronto hold their events in hotels, restaurants, halls and schools. Each venue has its own rules. Check with the venue, then tell the DJ:<\/p>\n
